Bill Barker Collectors' Meeting Amsterdam Okura (7 Dec. 2013)

Share:

Yesterday evening we had a fantastic Collectors' gathering in Amsterdam, organised by Clemens (and Mark) because Bill happened to be in town!

Reason enough for collectors from the US, UK, Belgium and Netherlands to meet up again and bring some real heavy metal to the table!

IWC was also kind enough to bring a very 'special guest', so if you're curious what's in this picture just click on the link.Link to the photo report(all pictures can be enlarged by clicking on them and downloaded full res.)

What a fantastic event, I had a great time with everyone. I quickly caught up with all, some I had not seen for over a year, but it feld immediately like it was only yesterday(!)Clemens thanks a lot for hosting this evening, IWC (Bas) thanks for the gift (( Luckely on the bottom was written what it contained, Cause I didn't have a clue at first, and was afraid to ask (LOL) ))Bill thanks for visiting Holland and so giving an opportunity to have a GTG.Greg and Ralf great you guys flew in all the way from London. And Tonny I got 6 out of 10 in your funny quiz (next year I will win..)Mark great speaches with lots of humor. Adriaan thank you for the good info about early (military) pocketwatches, wich, with my background, I found of course very very interesting.And of course all the other fellow collectors.

It was (also because of the present of a siderale) realy over the top.I do not now what was better, the company, the food or the incedible watches present.

Bob, superb report. It was a fantastic evening. I too caught up with several collectors I had not seen in a couple of years and some new faces too. Thanks to Mark and Clemens for organizing the evening.

Some watches on the table ; not seen very often on one table I believe.Thank you Mark and Clemens for organizing this again. Huge thanks to IWC for bringing these watches and the bodyguard ( or should I say "watchguard" ? ).Thanks to the company of collectors ; great people.
